MIM parts have proven to be reliable in not only firearms but in the aircraft industry and many other applications. Custom gun makers tout the fact they don't use MIM, but that fact in itself does not make their firearms any better than mass produced firearms. If MIM was a problem, major respected firearms manufacturers like Ruger, S&W and Colt would not use the process or warranty their firearms like they do. Folks need to move on.

The MIM argument reminds me of the hand layed vs chopper gun argument years back when I bought my first fiberglass bass boat. I was being told by a few salesman that his brand's hull was 100% hand layed , not the cheaper style built with the partial use of a chopper gun like some others do.
My next question, that tended to make them want to change the subject was " you mean chopper guns like Ranger boats use?
If it's proven technology that works, and helps keep prices as reasonable as possible I have no problem with It.
BTW, I bought a Procraft, chopper gunned first layer and all.
